Port Scanning

monitorr

Hi,

Can anyone tell me where to get or which IP to use when scanning for proxies using proxy scraper?

Thanks.

The ol' hen-and-egg problem. You need some proxies to scrape proxies :9

I have semi-dedicated proxies already from buy proxies but trying to save a buck or two here

Are the proxies I scrape using proxy scraper the same quality and do the same job as the ones I currently buy from buy proxies?

Also I did notice that one of these options asked me to input an IP to scan the port for proxies!!??

Baffled....

The quality differs greatly!! 

Proxy scraper does find some nice, reliable proxies - but you never know if those are going to die in the middle of a submission.

About the other thread: reduce your setup to one indexing service and buy dedicated buyproxies instead. They're the best.

Thank you and would you suggest Indexification or GSA Indexer?

Or any other that may build backlinks to URLs when they are submitted?

P.S I am running GSA on a VPS as below. 

Xeon E3/E5 CPU

6GB ECC RAM

8 Cores

80GB SSD ENT.

1Gbps UNMETERED

WIN2008 R2 / 2012 R2

How many GSA threads? What about your average CPU usage?

If you've got enough ressources left, GSA indexer will do just fine... I'd try both for a month, compare the stats and decide afterwards which one you're going to go with in the long run.

Well I can run 800 threads without any problems (haven't tried more than that) and the CPU average fluctuates up to only 4% and back to 0% again, so no problems really.

Okay I will take your advice and try both. Only problem is, how will I know which one has indexed the URL?

jonseo

@monitorr Set up two identical projects, use gsa indexer on one and your 3rd party indexer on the other. Compare results after 1 month.

Okay I will try that but ultimately, will it hurt if I run bith GSA Indexer and Indexification alongside each other would you say?
